Crushing Concrete and Asphalt

We're recycling 280,000 tons of asphalt and concrete from the existing interstate to produce NDDOT Salvage Base. The 100% recycled aggregate will be placed on the road grade as the foundation for new concrete to be poured, connecting the cities of Fargo an Grand Forks North Dakota. The two primary benefits of crushing the old interstate into base for the new segment are:
1. Reduced environmental impact by not having to mine new aggregates
2. Tremendous cost savings be reducing transport cost across the project.
Projects like these have become commonplace when working with DOT's and present a very sustainable option to maintain our nations infrastructure.

it's great techniques

[@trevorflegler6563]

As an asphalt guy and a drone owner, this would pretty well combine two things I love doing 😂

[@wdscepaniak]

Love it

[@shawnnicholas3835]

Awesome set up

[@wdscepaniak]

Thank you

[@JV-ds9ps]

Nice operation!

[@wdscepaniak]

Thanks JV!

[@AngelGarcia-et9db]

Great video! Looks like I'll be getting into the business. Don't know the first thing about it, and this shed some light. I'm meeting him on Saturday to go over everything. Would love to talk to someone about questions i should be asking and valuations prior to writing a check. Thanks!

[@wdscepaniak]

best of luck

[@KevinJustice88]

Love recycling cuts my materials cost down big time never thought of mixing tho guess that’s my next task to figure out

[@wdscepaniak]

Huge cost saver

[@travismckenney407]

I work at a small ledge quarry in Maine, would love to have on of those big stackers. Good vid. Like your content

[@wdscepaniak]

Stackers make a huge difference, allowing us to pile a lot of material in a smaller footprint! Thanks for watching

[@jakemelgar7591]

How many acres were you guys worken in looks like a massive area

[@wdscepaniak]

About 20-30 including everything going on

[@Mattatite]

I wonder how one starts a company that does this

[@wdscepaniak]

Most guys starting out today would get a small project and deploy a rental fleet and build from there. In our case, we've been in the aggregate processing space since the early 1960's

[@bryanhealy9585]

How loud are 1 of those crushers and is there much dust comes of them or will the water jets kill all the dust

[@wdscepaniak]

The water neutralizes the dust, the noise off put by a crusher at distance is less than a lawnmower

[@bryanhealy9585]

I just ask cause there’s a company here in Ireland and they are trying to get planning for a concrete crushing plant but locals are saying that there is excessive dust for the crusher and the noise from it is louder than a jumbo jet taking off . Just wanted to know from someone who is dealing with crushers everyday what the real answer is thanks . And how far of a distance from the crusher till it’s like a lawnmower

[@wdscepaniak]

The uninformed public always seems to have strong opinions that impede progress on permitting.
On our most recent noise sampling at one of our granite crushing operations , noise averaged a 30db 90% of the time at 500-700 feet. There would be occasional peaks ranging from/50-90db for short durations when striking the blocks. However these were all within the thresholds of our state permitting allowance
In terms of dust or fugitive emissions, we conduct visual opacity testing on equipment and add dust mitigation via water spray where needed

What is the cost per ton of cement these days?

[@michaelalan1546]

That’s interesting I have not heard of mixing concrete and asphalt together. How does that hold up on a road?

[@wdscepaniak]

fairly well. It is compacted and treated similar to gravel base & has a similar lifespan

[@cowboysbigiron4115]

My question is you don't have many problems with ripped belts on the jaw from metal being stuck still in the jaw as it falls to the Lower belt?

[@wdscepaniak]

Not too many issues on this job. Material is prepped well. Other jobs have been a problem.

[@jamiemaurer8629]

Spruce Valley did the same thing on the hwy 2 project between Fosston and hwy 59.

[@wdscepaniak]

its becoming a common way to rebuild!

[@rodneycody8746]

If people would only watch the right vid they would lean how metal is removed nice

[@wdscepaniak]

Yes

[@techwithasif8867]

Hi

[@wdscepaniak]

Why music has to be so loud and weird
